Why hasnt anybody else thought of this simple, yet brilliant story before, because what is the number two fear of high school students? Failing exams. Solution? Cheating exams

This gem from Thailand has remained relatively unknown, but it won many prizes and it stole the hearts of many people. And for a good reason, because this is one of the best teenage coming of age stories I have seen in years. Starts out clever, witty and seemingly innocent, yet ends rather dramatic. There is much more to it, than meets the eye at first. Very impressive!

Why hasnt anybody else before thought of this simple, yet brilliant story? What is THE number TWO fear of high school students? Failing exams of course. Solution? Cheating exams. One smart kid, helps out all the other dumb kids, in cheating their exams. The cheating methods these kids use are highly sophisticated and smart. But do they get away with it, or will their cheating schemes be discovered with dire consequences?

Great acting performances. Subtle witty plot turns. Excellent photography and direction as well. This seemingly innocent high school story, becomes much more dramatic in nature then one would assume reading about this story at first. What a thrill to watch! New found coming of age gem from Thailand! A breeze of fresh air. Wonderful!

Excellent Movie

I hope that this film from Thailand finds a wide audience. Lynn is a student at a prestigious high school with a bunch of spoiled rich kids. She is a genius on scholarship who is struggling to survive amongst her wealthy classmates. Most of them are having trouble with their tests and they come up with the idea of using Lynn to pass the exams. She develops a system using piano lessons to as a key to sending signals during the exams. It works out at first as Lynn makes some money and the rich kids pass the tests. They come up with a way to use cell phones to pass college entrance exams. The final 30 minutes are a thrilling ride and Bad Genius is one of the best movies of 2017.

BAD GENIUS thrusts a refreshing spin onto a familiar playground with panache, verve and brainwaves

"A priori, audience can immediately discern the kindred spirit between Lynn and Bank, with a possible if trite romantic subplot in the offing, however, the screenplay doesn't fall for the easy tropes, in lieu it crisscrosses their respective personality modulations, Lynn, who appears none-too-hesitant in consenting to the scam in exchange of material gain at the first place, has to wrestle with her swelling guilty conscience when their scheme goes somehow amiss in Sydney, and finally opts for a clean conscience above all things, whereas Bank, who starts as a righteous wonk, and inadvertently sabotages Lynn's chance of studying abroad, must undergo a diametrical path on the moral compass when the film reaches its ending, not entirely unsympathetic, but Bank's descending into the dark side also obviates a lovey-dovey cop-out and is instrumental to the film's reflection of a society corrupted with materialism, classism and a porous education system, where unspoken rules reside and marks is the only criterion to decide a student's future."
